What would be the benefit of wxNet ? < Another .NET widget framework
(CLX.NET) ?
If I understood Jason Southwell correctly (who sent me a header translation

for this), wx.net is not .NET, it is the C++ WXWindows library wrapped in
pure C for easy importing into other languages and compilers (including
.NET)
I myself would prefer to use commonly installed API's and libs though (gtk, QT
win32 etc) over such beast though. Dependancies are evil.

It is both. The wx.NET is the project to bring wxWidgets into the managed

world. And for this you need a C++ wrapper library. The same as Qt#. It
also has two parts: libqts.so and qtsharp.dll

no, it's just another small layer between 2 worlds

and it is not a big pb if result is a multiplatform component library.
what is the complete net framework ? a kind big layer
same for Qt, wx, and GTK
in that case you should directly interface with xlib
and even xlib from a certain point of view is a layer
with graphic card driver... :)

is that mean that next release of FreeCLX will drop all Qt links

and will be fully based on wxWindows library via wx.Net C++ to C wrapper ?

True. But you misunderstand what I meant, or simply totally missed the

"commonly installed" part. I prefer not to use frameworks not installed by
default. So that includes wxwindows, and Qt/GTK outside *nix. Saves a lot of
deployment problems.
.NET is a border case. It will be standard on pretty much every Windows system. However there
are other reasons why I don't like it, at least not for my current uses.

True, but that was not the point.
